His staff has alsc prepared a 2003 Development Framework Guide Map to help with future land use planning, utility services, and community I facilities services. Bonnie Newlon reported on the population projections. The maps were redesigned to allow more valid projections for sewer lines. Mrs. Newlon reported that these maps would affect the speed at which certain areas are worked on concerning utilit~ services (extension of sewer lines) and community facilities services. Mr. Jim Lehe reported on the status of the "Resource Protection Guide" Mr. Lehe reported that County land use should achieve the following goals for resource protection: protect Roanoke County's finite natural and cultural resources from the potentially detrimental effects of urban growth and development; I maximize the public benefit, enjoyment, and responsible use of Roanoke County's protected resources; and enhance the quality of Roanoke County's valuable environmental resources.

I IN RE: RECESS Chairman McGraw called for a dinner recess at 5:35 p.m. IN RE: RECONVENEMENT Mr. Lehe reported on the "Development Framework Guide". The land use plan and the public facilities plan come together in this Framework Guide. This framework divides the County into urban and rural areas. Mr. Lehe found in his study that the areas that currently have sewer have all other public facilities. The first priority site is Dixie Caverns area and second option is the Bonsack area. Mr. Lehe reported on preliminary land use plan designations. The following plans are to be included in the I specified areas: URBAN AREAS Parks and Open Space - parks, outdoor recreation, land preserves, cemeteries Neighborhood Conservation - existing residential neighborhoods Community Revitalization - blighted neighborhoods targeted for community improvements Commercial Transition - existing and potential highway commercial strips Development - areas suited for urban development Core - areas suited for high intensity urban development principal Industrial - Major industrial employment areas.

The library plan has been approved by the Library Board and should be voted on by the Planning Commission on February 19, 1985. I Bill Threlkeld reported on the Fire and Ambulance Services Study. He reported that instead of having Back Creek substation in the next five years the staff and fire chiefs have decided to have the remodeling of the Cave Spring Fire Station and move Back Creek to 10 years. The fire chiefs have also requested that a precedent be set of having volunteers supplemented by pay person rather than pay personnel supplementec by volunteers. The rescue analysis is not complete. All plots have come in from rescue squads and some preliminary reports have been done. Ms. Bonnie Newlon reported that the school facilities plan is underway (in first draft form). The plan will be presented to the School Board on February 14, for their review. Darrell Shell and Gary Huff have prepared a preliminarl parks plan. Mr. Huff reported that National and State figures are used to determine how much park land is needed. A district format is being used to determine park development. Work Session - Oral Report on Terminal Road Water Line - John Hubbard, Superintendent of Public Facilities, reported on the programs he and his staff have prepared for work sessions on roads. These work sessions will include the Six Year Plan for secondary and primary roads, revenue sharing funds, and the rural I I ----- ~ ~ February 5, 1985 445 addition program. Rural additions and revenue sharing funds work sessions will be discussed at the February 26, 1985, Board I meeting. A revised schedule will be provided to the Board at a later date. Mr. Hubbard and his staff have had requests from the gasoline companies in the area to provide additional fire protection. These companies are willing to pay their "fair share" which would be one-quarter County responsibility and one-quarter for each of the three gasoline companies. The cost of extending the water lines will be in the neighborhood of $23,000 making the County's share approximately $6,500. Since Seaboard Farms has built in that area, Mr. Hubbard and his staff feel that two more hydrants are needed but cannot justify the additional cost since Seaboard is not willing to share and do not want to use the public water lines. The Board directed Mr. I Hubbard to call Seaboard Farms and Hunt Apple and to report back to the Board on February 26, 1985, with a prepared resolution. Work Session - Update on Public Transportation Plan - Gary Huff, Assistant to John Hubbard, reported on the update of the transportation plan for the handicapped and aged citizen of Roanoke County.
